It was! Transmission mount was flipped and the metal cover/spacers over the rubber motor mounts made up enough gap for the pan!

I looked at it, those front two mounts aren't flush with the rear two. Also, this would move it back like four inches... it'll hit the firewall. Does anyone have pics of their 2J mounts sitting in the bay? Preferably a side shot.

Alright, so I bought a set of Pre-89 2J motor mounts on EBAY. Well, when I installed the 2J/R154... the motor is line up straight(left-to-right) but it sits about an 1" to 1.5" too far foward. The transmission mount has to be stretched back for the holes to line up and the oil pan is almost...

Today: Bottom-End is together!

Update: Havn't been able to do much lately, but check out what came in the mail today! I'm Heading home for Christmas, going to be assembling the block there. I still need to order a Cometic 1.6mm MHG. If my math doesn't fail me, this is the size HG I need after having a total of .010...

LoL, thanks!

Today: I went ahead and sprayed the base and clear. It looks good enough. I learned that when you think you have enough light, you could always add more! I have a couple spots that are a little thin and I still need to undercoat the lower tunnel portion. I will get better lit/less blury...

Thanks! I completely agree with y'all, but I didn't remove them for a couple reasons. When the car goes in for paint, it will be delivered with the hood, front bumper and fenders off. The section underneath is going to be undercoated and I am going to have them paint the top of frame...

I thought about doing it, but unsure as to which holes I will put to use with the 2J swap. There are alot of holes showing now because I pulled every rubber cap out. I am going to recap all of the frame holes, but have to figure out a clean/slick way to take care of some of the relay mounting...

:icon_bigg Thanks for the info, I am going to mix together a couple of methods I have been reading on. I have to use lots of clear! :biglaugh: I like the looks of a base/clear bay too much to just stick with the base. Today: It has two coats of primer on it now! Going to do a little...

Today: I have a new found respect for automotive painters, sanding sucks! I have been cleaning/degreasing/wetsanding the entire front clip/bay for the last two days! I did manage to get the full wiring harness out, as well as the rack. I am hoping to have it primed tommorrow. I am not a...

Thanks! :icon_bigg Got it completely out today! Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I would like to settle in Bend/Sunriver area, but if the job situation doesn't work out.... most likely Portland.

Today: Didn't really get too much done today, removed all of the front bumper and nose piece bracing. I am going to have them powdercoated black instead of painting them. Also, removed the front braking system to go in for powdercoating. I keep cleaning on the bay but it's slow progress...

Thanks! LoL, it does get pretty hot here... humid as well; but it hasn't worked in 9 years! I'm moving to Oregon in May anyways :icon_bigg. So, what better time to drop some weight and clean up the bay! The seats are a mix of about five MKIII Recaros I picked up off ebay. Took them...

Picked up the motor from the Machine Shop yesterday, looks good! I also ordered some parts from DM: 2J Engine Complete Gasket Set 2J NPR Piston Ring Set 2J ACL Race Bearings 2J ARP Head Studs 2J ARP Main Studs 2J ARP Rod Bolts Tube of FIPG

Thanks! :icon_bigg Today: I got the bay/front pretty much ready to start prepping for paint. I have to remove the Clutch Master Cylinder and possibly the front impact bumper; might make it easier to paint. I also coiled all of the front clip wires up, going to figure out if I can...

Got of pic of the driver side where the cross bar is welded? :icon_wink

Looking really good Voodoo!

Thanks! I'll let you know if I need those rods/pistons :icon_bigg. Today: I went ahead and cleaned all/most of the carbon off of the valves. Also, cleaned the retainers, keepers and springs. Only time I hate having 24 Valves! I also got a little more of the bay stripped. Depending on...

The flat horizontal silver one is the ignitor, the other vertical round connector silver one is the injector resistor on the vertical black one is the cleaner relay. I took the vertical black one off and it was labeled cleaner relay doh!
